AXLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 396,845, dated January 29, 1889.

Application filed September 12, 1888. Serial No. 285,251. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES HENRY \VIL- SON, of Jersey City I-Ieig'hts, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and Improved Axle, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention consists of the constructiiim, arrangement, and combinations of parts, all as hereinafter described and claimed.

Reference is to be had to the accompanyin drawings, forming" a part of this s tieciiication, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both the figures.

Figure l is a side elevation of my new and improved axle, and Fig: 2 is a sectional elevation of the same.

A B represent the two main sections of my new axle. These are united by the screwshank A of section A, being; screwed into the intern ally-scrow-threaded cavity 15' 01. the section l-i. The outer surfaces of the central portions of the sections A 15 are screw-threaded, and upon them screwed the coupling sleeve or tube C. This is prevented from movement by the collars a- (I, held in place by set-screw a a. Each section A B is formed with a bearing D D, for the wheel, and back of this hearing is formed the square portion E E, to which a wrench may be applied for separating the sections of the axle. \Vhen constructed in this manner, it one section should break it may be detached from the other and a new section put in place thus obviatingthe necessity of losing the whole axle as would be the case if made in one piece.

Having" thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire 1o secure by Letters Patent,

An improved axle consisting cf the two sections A B, each having their inner ends externally screw-threaded, the section A being' provided with the reduced screntl'1readed portion or shank A and the section B with the intern ally-screw-i'llreadcd. cavity B, to receive the said reduced portion or shank, and the internally-threaded sleeve 0, fitting on the screw-threaded portions of the said sections substantially as herein shown and dc scribed.

CHARLES HENRY WILSON.
